.TH AXSPAWN.CONF 5 "2 August 1996" Linux "Linux Programmer's Manual"
.SH NAME
axspawn.conf \- Control the operation of axspawn.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The
.B axspawn.conf
file controls the operation of the axspawn(8) program. The operation of the
config file can best be seen in an example:
.LP
.RS
# this is /etc/ax25/axspawn.conf
.br
#
.br
# allow automatic creation of user accounts
.br
create    yes
.br
#
.br
# guest user if above is 'no' or everything else
.br
# fails. Disable with "no"
.br
guest     ax25
.br
#
.br
# group id or name for autoaccount
.br
group     ax25
.br
#
.br
# first user id to use
.br
first_uid 400
.br
#
.br
# maximum user id
.br
max_uid   2000
.br
#
.br
# where to add the home directory for the new user
.br
home      /home/ax25
.br
#
.br
# user's shell
.br
shell     /bin/bash
.br
#
.br
# bind user id to callsign for outgoing connects.
.br
associate yes
.RE
.LP
The \(lqassociate\(rq option has to be used with great care. If a user logs
on it removes any existing callsign from the translation table for this
userid and replaces it with the callsign and SSID of the user. This will
happen with multiple connects (same callsign, different SSIDs), too. Unless
you want your users to be able to call out from your machine disable
\(lqassociate\(rq.
